The Questions Every 6–7 Figure Founder Should Be Asking Themselves Right Now

The Questions Every 6–7 Figure Founder Should Be Asking Themselves Right Now

Author: Polly Lavarello December 19, 2025 Duration: 26:38

This episode is an invitation to pause, reflect and think like the founder you want to become in 2026. 

Instead of chasing trends or tactics, I guide you through fifteen powerful questions that shape identity, sharpen strategy and reveal the gaps that quietly cap business growth. These questions help you see where your messaging, offers, delivery and leadership may be out of alignment with the level you are aiming for.

Whether you are already at six figures or building towards it, this is a chance to reconnect with clarity, confidence and the spacious CEO energy that makes scaling feel natural. Bring your journal. The insights will stay with you long after the episode ends.

Highlights:

(01:46) Why these questions matter for six and seven figure founders

(03:22) The message and client calibre misalignment most founders miss

(05:10) How to know whether your marketing builds trust or drains it

(08:50) The offers worth carrying into 2026 and those worth releasing

(12:44) What drains your brilliance versus what amplifies it

(18:57) The identity shift needed to become your next level founder
